So here’s the thing, I’ve been attracted to guys before. Mostly one guy, for basically my entire life, I’ve known him for quite a long time and even now I still have feelings for him.
I am also currently attracted to another woman. My roommate. Who is straight and has a boyfriend (my other roommate.)
I’d like to say I’ve spent my entire adult life being 100% okay, even supportive of the LGBT community. But growing up in a conservative Mormon household, I find it hard to even think that it’s okay for me to be that way. It was kind of drilled into my head that if I ended up being attracted to women, I’d go to hell and everyone in my family would hate me.
So I have a couple questions I guess.
What does this make me? I don’t quite understand it myself and it’s sort of driving me insane.
How do I get past what I was taught and just accept whatever it may be? I want to be happy and I can’t do that if I can’t accept myself.
I’d also like to add that I realize my roommate is straight and there’s nothing I can do about that and I’m okay with that. A little sad but okay.
